The end of the year is quickly approaching and I’m behind in getting some projects posted before the Holiday Catalog ends. Today’s card is the thank you that I sent to customers that made a purchase from me in October, either online or at an in person event. I also sent this one out to my October Paper Pumpkin subscribers as well since it had been a while since I’d thanked them for their subscription. I really do appreciate my customers. I know … [Read more...] about October Thank You
Tis the Season
For gift-giving! When the kids were little, they would sometimes need Holiday treats to pass out at school. Our elementary school had a rule that all treats had to be individually packaged and store bought - nothing homemade and bagged by us (for allergy purposes). I always liked to dress up the treats. I never wanted to just pass out a bag of candy. Today's treat holder uses the Making Spirits Bright bundle (stamp set and … [Read more...] about Tis the Season

A Little Merry
One of my favorite things to make around the Holidays is gift holders. I realize I could save myself a lot of time and buy gift bags and boxes at the store, but where is the fun in doing that? My favorite gift holder from the Catalog is our Mini Pizza boxes. These boxes can fit so many different small gifts, like gift cards, jewelry, chocolate, or cash. To decorate these boxes, I make a "belly band". The belly band wraps around the center of … [Read more...] about A Little Merry
A Well-Dressed Deer
Well, that's it. School started months ago, Halloween is a distant memory, and Thanksgiving has come and gone in a blur. And now we come to my favorite Holiday...Christmas! I love Holiday decorations. Lots of them. I am definitely in the "more is more" category when it comes to decorating. Our Christmas wonderland starts with the cozy sledding scene on the porch complete with blankets, cocoa mugs and sleds. Some years, I even have a giant … [Read more...] about A Well-Dressed Deer
